Juventus welcome Everton, Villa bids for Appiah

Juventus are encouraging Premiership clubs to bid for Ghana international midfielder Stephen Appiah.

Juve director general Luciano Moggi has been given the green light by coach Fabio Capello to cash in on the Ghana international, along with fellow midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi.

Both players are surplus to requirements for Capello and will be sold to raise fresh transfer funds for the summer market.

Appiah has a host of Premiership admirers, including Everton, Middlesbrough and Aston Villa, while Tacchinardi remains a target for Barcelona after coming close to moving to Spain in January.
